Make your wedding go down in history

Historic Carnton has been a gathering place for ladies and gentlemen over the last two centuries. Now, the history of Carnton has been memorialized in the best-selling novel The Widow of the South. Make your wedding a part of our tradition as you say your vows under the one hundred sixty-year-old Osage Orange tree in our restored antebellum garden.

Whether you’ve dreamed of a rustic outdoor setting or want more modern amenities, one of our reception locations will complete your vision. To treat your guests to a true back-in-time experience, we will open the 1826 McGavock family home and invite them inside for a walk-through tour and glimpse into the history of Tennessee.

If you would like to set up a time to view the property and set your date, please contact:Jayde Smith, Wedding and Event Coordinator(615) 794-0903jayde@boft.org

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of our sweet couples 💕

"Finding a historical venue where we could take our children and show them where we got married was super important to us, and there are few places with more history in #Franklin than Carnton. So many guests commented how the setting made for one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever attended. We opened the house for tours during cocktail hour, which I definitely recommend." - real bride Stacey, following her April 2017 wedding | @staceykay86, you were absolutely stunning 💕 •
